what president obama wants to do is extend the tax cut that you have actually been living with for about a decade. back during the final years of the clinton administration the u.s. had a budget surplus. in the year 2000 the federal government took in $236 billion more than it spent. in the presidential election that year then texas governor george w. bush running against al gore pledged to give that money back to the taxpayers. >> we don't believe the surplus is the government's money. we know the surplus is the people's money. we're going to send some of that money back to the people that pay the bills. >> and send it back he did. when he became president thugh temporary tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 known as the bush tax cuts. the first of those tax cuts were set to expire back in 2010 but the economy was still shaky back then so vice president biden and senator mitch mcconnell struck a deal to extend them for two more years for everyone. now those tax cuts are set to expire again at the end of this year. it is part of the so-called fiscal cliff that economists are warning the u.s. could
